Her martial arts journey started as a young girl at the age of 6 in Japanese ju jitsu. She trained regularly for 8 years and achieved her yellow belt.
Martial arts runs through Gemma's family as her dad is an 8th Dan Black belt in Ju Jitsu, and her daughter comes to the kids kickboxing classes.
Gemma didn't realise how much she missed training martial arts until Olivia joined the Kinetic Martial Arts team, so she continued with her journey in 2015.
Gemma is a valid member of the team and very rarely misses a class of training. She's a hard worker in the class and a brilliant teacher coach for the children. Gemma is CRB checked and is a first aider.
Outside of kickboxing, Gemma has a full time job as a learning support assistant with primary school children. She enjoys seeing the progress children make in her job and also in the kickboxing class. Watching the improvement of children is very fulfilling for Gemma. That's what makes her a great coach.
